Hello - does anyone know what under dash FUSE position is constant powered? I am about to do a mirror install and need switched and constant and do not want to tap the wires in the DIY for this. I would rather use a piggyback fuse instead.

I am going to use either position 13 or 46 for the switched (assuming US versions are wired similar to the JDM) and am looking for ideas for the constant source.

Thank you.

 

I would like to know this as well - we wait.

 

I installed a self-dimming, homelink, compass mirror on a manual fit last week. I took switched power from position 7 (auto trans solenoid) which was empty and tapped constant power from the map lights which are right there on the headliner.

I watched the you-tube video on how to remove the sun visor ten times and could not get it out but was able to run the wire down the a-pillar molding without removing it. Good luck.

 

get yourself a multimeter tester... makes it more easier that way

 

I have one. With airbags and going from key on to key off there is a chance that you can blow the bags (with a cheap meter of course). I am using a good meter but still do not want to put the probes on live fuses.

 

there was a DIY for this somewhere. i know cause i used the picts to tap my gentex mirror earlier this year. do a search.

 

here you go, found the thread with picts.

kenchan - thank you very much. I would still like to know what fuses are constant and switched. I actually just finished the install and used the vampire taps because I could not find a suitable fuse tap for the low profile mini fuses. I followed the DIY here and used a section from another thread to route the wires for the temperature probe.

 

What mirror did you install?

 

ahh, if you want to know the fuses, usually the power door lock fuse are constant and the powersocket/cigarette lighter fuse are switched.

 

GENTEX 50A - homelink, compass and temp.

 

This thread identifies constant 12V.
